  • I am deeply and profoundly saddened.

  • Why would a preacher want for others to kill theirselves? How power corrupts?

  • The response to Ryans at 1:30 is so full of positive energy, it's hard to imagine that within 24 hours all those people are dead.

  • how did they get the footage? where is all this footage?!?!?!?!

  • It's hard to imagine this singer drinking the potion to die..such a waste of life. She had a beautiful voice.

  • wow, these guys performed some great music -- idk if their songs are really theirs, or just covers, but at the very least the voices & the musicianship are as good as any "professional" recording act -- i wish they had cut an album

  • @lukafafrenz I think that song is from a group called earth wind and fire.

  • @IBTMorimoto domo arigato -- i will look it up ;)

  • 1:50 Congressman Leo Ryan is starting to realize at this point that he is surrounded by brainwashed dummies.

  • I use to wear dark glasses like Jim Jones, until somebody punched me in the face.

  • Frame 6:41 gives a good view of the Pavillion. Come to the Pavillion and drink some kool-aid.

  • Only if they weren't crazy or religious nuts. Its impressive what they set up (as far as the building, food, daycare...etc).---------------­------- But of-course, it was a dictatorship. And that dictator killed everyone inducing himself, doesn't the contradict his whole viewpoint that society is bad.....The whole thing is just bizarre. There are evils in society, so I am going to kill everyone and myself. What a fucking wacko.

  • Jim Jones killed a whole bunch of Black people. smdh!!

  • I can't help but notice how he rambles a bit like Charles Manson.

  • 4:51 that guy in the blue is just something to look at. OMG he is so beautiful lol

  • i love how this thing is well documented and filmed. i never knew that reporters and members was ahead in feeling out this crazy shit that is about to happen. i thought it happened suddenly without any outsiders knowing whats been going on in the group

  • 3:45 omg hes so cute xD

  • At 5:42 right after Jones says "this is the man who wants to leave his son here" he gives the reporter such a dead, soulless gaze, it is absolutely chilling. Clearly he knew he was losing control and knew what he was going to do.

  • @wpc1013 You are right, I didn't know Wayne Newton, to be honest, and checked on the internet right now. Everything else aside, I am still amazed how the reporter could pass to this clearly disturbed man that confidential note he received. If Jim Jones didn't have the plan ready, he surely made it up in his crazed mind when he saw the note. The reporter is somewhat morally responsible for what followed next. I just pray, pray such horrors never happen again.

  • @alsvalia The reporter didn't know what kind of monster he was dealing with. Even his own followers didn't know. Psychopaths are notorious for being able to cover themselves with a mask of sanity. It's what allows them to become such good predators. A recent study says you can tell psychopaths by the amount of dysfluencies in their speech, ie the amount of "uhs" and "ums." Google Michael Woodworth and the article "How to Spot a Psychopath: Look For Speech Patterns, Scientists Say"

  • Comment removed

  • This is what happens when man tries to create paradise . . .

  • Just wasteful slaughter. :(

  • Jim Jones looks like a mentally disturbed Elvis impersonator off his medication. Did no one see this man was not right in his head??? I'm no psychiatrist, but just 2 minutes of looking at him and I realized he needed serious medical help, in confinement, not free among people.

  • @alsvalia He looks more like Wayne Newton than Elvis.

  • cults use some of this footage for their music video

  • 02:31 behind him "those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it"

  • Excessive weird cheering.

  • Suck them in emotionally and spit them out hysterically tear down there ego then build them back up.

  • she had goodf voice man

  • It certainly is a beautiful day. We should thank the leader.

  • Did anybody else's video just stop at around 4:31? Scared the bejeezus out of me.

  • one day, you're here and the next day you're gone

  • so many lives taken by the monster of human psyschological disorder.

  • So...Jim Jones used Stalinist methods of having children inform on adults (viz. mark 2:44 - 2:55). Contrast with Pavlik Morozov.

  • watch this video on youtube and u will come to know all about life and death :

    watch?v=KfSWkDQS56Q

  • wat song is that chick singing

  • @phews07 The song is "Hearts Afire" by Earth Wind and Fire. It came out in l975 and was a huge R&B hit at the time (the album). This woman at Jonestown had a great voice. I'm curious if anybody knows whether or not her identity has ever been stated.

  • @myronfan i know her name, i hit u up tomorrow

  • @myronfan Diane Wilkinson

  • why would you tell him that there are people who want to leave? -___- they had to sneak notes. SNEAK. NOTES.

  • all it takes is one guy with charisma.

    t hey could be Jim Jones, Charles man son, or George w bush

    AND they can talk folks into all kinda of murder . as for giving the victim names,like Emma Watson or Harrison ford, um really ? these people might still have family alive. not funny at all.

  • 1:47 emma watson and Borat

  • i way too scared to gives a thumbs up to the movie.......

  • @jamalshah881 I had no problem doing so. Not because I don't think that the Jonestown massacre wasn't the worst thing to ever happen anywhere, but because I think it is important to be educated about the hows and why's. For that, I appreciate ghostdance's decision to post this; however, I totally see where you're coming from and don't blame you one bit...

  • 1:16 harrison ford/ leslie nielsen (RIP)

  • Borat was there too! 1:47 !!

  • if they did not meddle, they would still be alive. they are adults and chose to go there

  • look at the black guy on 1:09 hahaha

  • whats the name of the song?

  • Love the documentary. Thanks for uploading.

  • if i were you i wouldn't upon my mouth blaming insulting good people who pray in peace for Islam while i'm talking sex all day

    i hear often ignorant blaming Islam but did they look at the mirror?

    did you? do you beleive you're better? you talk sex all day and you blame me for praying in peace?

    so please wash your mouth because if there is a obsesional crazy between us it's defently you!

    had to say the truth thanks to Allah, i wont answer keep writing i dont care! i won and i'm right! farewell

  • @xxChiQuiTitaxx73 Just read your argument with bjnboy. Please, give it to him. I'm a white, Canadian athetist and cynic, and I've gotta say, I find his commentary insulting, degrading, pathetic, and a desparate cry for help. I wonder if he realises how much like Jones is: only he has the truth, and he has to share it, whether we want to here it or not. Nice to see someone standing up to the little skinhead wannabe. Best, KartarNighthawk.

  • @KartarNighthawk thanks bro! he criticizes but did he look at himself? thanks for telling the truth :)

  • Err? Why are people fighting over Islam and Christianity? Come on dudes. Every religion in this world is not bad. Well, they may have differ one another in their teachings but hey, all of them taught their believers to do good deed in life. So, chill out. Not all Muslims are a terrorist and not all Christians are bad. Neither do Jews or the others too. Besides, in the end of the day all of us are a human being. We live like others do and we will die like the others too one day. Right? ;)

    P.S :

  • @Maimaimai8695 that's what i'm trying to tell to this stupid bjnboy! he believs he's right, that we're all bad! thanks, there good people like you who understand and don't put people in the same bag :)

  • 00:30 awesome singer....sucks she drank the kool-aid

  • i'm not pakistanese an i don't watch pervert images!

    you will never get that religion is a univarsal interpretation! i interpret these religion with peace, thanking God, praying, blessing my family like normal people!

    and there's other who interpret badly who believe you have to kill every none muslim in earth, Allah never said that!

    what about christian? can't you say something bad about christian?

    whatch the movie "magdalene sisters" extremists are in every religion, so stop blaming only islam

  • stop putting people in the same bag! try to know people, stop thinking like a nazi

  • and please it has nothing to do with my religion, many people religious or not think the same! pornography is only for pervert boys who enjoy terrible images, a sexuality that doesn't exist! probably because you're lonely or mad!

    how does it feel to be judge while i don't even know you?

    the fact you enjoy talking porno with your friend all the time doesn't make you a sexual obessional man or a pervert!

    so the fact that i'm a muslim doesn't make me a terrorist!

    please grow up and stop generalize

  • @xxChiQuiTitaxx73

    Terrorists are those who follow the teachings of Muhammad. 

  • god this is so disturbing,this shit scares me more than anything else i can imagine.

  • haha, did he really say that? "people like publicity, I dont!"....

    what a fake man! Im sorry those people lost their lives this way. Especially the poor kinds.

  • the marketing medical brainwashing continues.

  • this is chilling

  • this full doc is online just google it if you miss part 6

  • crazy cult....

  • It's sad and scary that about a thousand people lost their earthly life because they followed this false teacher, who was their "father", their "only", and their god. But it is just as sad and just as scary that so many more will reject eternal life because they'll watch or hear of Jonestown and think somehow it is compatible with Christianity, or that somehow Jim Jones represented Jesus Christ and His gospel.

    If you want to know God and Christ, then read His Word, the Bible.

  • See what happens when people vote for the Democrats

  • Wow we got to see the congressman's hot, hot bod when his shirt got torn. 

  • 07:56

    What is he saying? "incinerate mother***** na die"?

  • @livepower34325 he said you going to die mothe fucler

  • where did all the people in the peoples temple sleep? just wondering

  • Damn bratty children!

  • Ignorant people, as if there is a man in the sky...and as if this moron Jim Jones was his son...they got what they deserved out of ignorance and superstition. sad.

  • @pdbordelon Actually Jim Jones was an atheist and actually said similar statement to what you posted. He told people that there was no heaven and hell and that they had to create it themselves. He wasn't religious......he was a communist who was using religion for the tax exemption status.

  • 8:16 Look at Mark Lane. What a loony. Looks like he is trying to hump Leo Ryan as he gets in the cab of that truck. Odd to see footage of people just an hour before their death.

  • I have a congressional shield of protection around my nut sack.

  • 4:18 "It is really nice here, and I'll be leaving in a couple weeks" - poor lady, yeah she'll be leaving alright, in a coffin onboard a military plane.

  • "Congressional shield of protection?!" What the hell?

  • It's not religion to be blamed. Religion don't put the gun in your hand and tells you to commit suicide, or it never tells you to brainwash 900 people so they can commit suicide, religion wouldn't do that, only misinterpretation of the religion and human interest + sick mind and soul do that.

  • people stop complaining. Thanks ghostdance202 for the uploads.

  • the song is called "way of the world" its by earth wind and fire, a disco group from the 70s and 80s, the girl singing it has a beautiful voice

  • the girl at the begining has beatiful voice

  • What did the sign THOSE WHO DO NOT REMEMBER THE PAST ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT above Jones' throne? I know they are words from Santayana. But what did they mean to Jim Jones?

  • 0:20-1:05-what is the name of that song?

  • The moment at 1:30 gave me chills, it's so sad that these people died just one day later. Man that's creepy, I feel so sorry that nine-hundred people died because of a freaking mad man.

  • It's not out of sync for me at all. Thank you for uploading this. It's a chilling and important truth and cautionary lesson on the dangers of group conformity and how people can become controlled by a smooth talking con man like Jim Jones.

  • 4:00 The dead body of the girl with the red pants was later featured on the cover of the 1978 Newsweek Special Report.

  • Comment removed

  • You can see Jim Jones clapping for the congressman on 1:44.

  • Dang, so many people wanted to leave but they never made it!

  • This documantary is amazing and jaw dropping to me.Thank you for putting this here

  • You know what is really scary about that Friday Night, is that same evening the Star Wars Holiday Special was being aired in the United States starring Bea Arthur and Chewbacca.

  • @mccarrpo what does bea and chewy have to do with jonestown?

  • this is like a movie

  • Didn't got out of sync on me once, Ghostdance. People, if you have shitty computers than your going to get shitty quality. The pixels on your screen are probably the size of jupiter so look into that.

  • Does everyone realize that everyone in the footage is now deceased? Thats sooo sad.

  • @taleahj Seriously, that makes me want to cry.

  • ghostdance really sucks with the syncing thing.

  • thank you for the upload. mind blowin.

  • so royaly fked up that they all were murderd 24 hrs after that sooo screwy and creepy

  • THis being a good upload and documentary, i really like the effort you put in cutting this documentary and uploading it to YouTube. The fact sound is missing in pt. 6 is a lame - hopefully - misunderstanding which i hope you'll get fixed as soon as those idiots dosn't see history as a trademark...

  • Knowledge is power. The problem is that the younger generation never heard about this before and can easily be deceived again.

  • they should have never went man

  • fkg cheap ass audio

  • thank you for posting!

  • You do a great service posting this! I was 24 years old when this happened and remember it well. People need to be reminded as this can easily happen again. People should follow no one! No group! Be their own person!

  • "Evil itself flew into Jonestown" You said it buddy!!

  • The music in this documentary is really horrifying!

  • Why not just upload the whole thing to a torrent site?

  • @MissDeeCole not everybody uses torrents..but i got this from a torrent site actually so i dont really need to upload it again

  • Real shame you can't upload this (and many other) parts of this wonderful series in SYNC! It really detracts from the experience. Otherwise, thank you for posting this.

  • fucking ignorant adults.

    half of them should have stayed on drugs.

  • NIce I have been Looking For Lots of Jones Footage Lately, Fuck WMG, U know Vevo Is Owned by Sony?? Thats why all the New Videos Look all lameee. Daszoot Shud Read, lol

  • @DasZoot because as it clearly states in the Uploader Comments section that I have no control over it, it happened during the upload and the video file I had was perfect

  • @DasZoot  Learn to appricate

  • @DasZoot why don't people stop moaning about the audio issues. I'm sure it wasn't something that was done on purpose.

    If you have such a massive problem with it, upload it yourself with perfect audio, then at least we won't have to read stupid moaning comments all the time.

    Whine whine whine, moan moan moan, blah blah blah. GROW UP!

    Thanks ghostdance202 for the upload, really interesting documentary and really good quality video, unlike the others on youtube.

  • This is a great, great documentary.

    Thanks for putting it all on Youtube :)

  • why would he want to do that to children that's just wrong

  • Good documentary... But seriously how hard can it be to keep the sound in sync?

  • Pretty hard considering I have no control over it. If there's a lot of data in a particular upload, it can fuck up the video like that unfortunately.

  • This shows you what cult leaders use as a weapon to control people, its the spirit of rejection. The people Jim Jones took to Jamestown , were mostly poor, black and fatherless. People with no identity , looking for somewhere to fit in. And if you look through these mega churchs , you would find they are made up of the same kind of people. The only difference is , the kool aid they drink is a false doctrine, but just asdeadly and corruptable and the preacher gets away with just as much.

  • @tbursee None of that is true. And if you believe it is your pathetic.

  • @gtas123 you're right sir, he used lottery tickets,cigarettes and malt liquor.

  • @tbursee He used god to lure them in, when they were in, he soon ripped apart the bible and said that his "word" was true, and they soon believed him to be a god. But then his plan came to pieces after he went mad with power. He was actually a communist atheist.

  • @gtas123 He did not used God, becuase God does'nt do that to people. He manipulated them based on their rejection , and th eneed for a "family". Thats why they were mostly black, and all of them poor.

  • @tbursOops, I meant he used Christianity. You are also a racist.

  • @tbursee People really have Jim Jones all confused with religion. He was a communist. Read more about this cult and you'll find that it had a lot less to do with religion and far more to do with creating a socialist dream.

  • That song at the begining is gr8 and also sad... RIP

  • @algwad - Her name was Alicia Wilkinson. She was very self-conscious about a burn scar on her face, which was the result of having been burned as a child. The people's temple choir made a great album called He's Able. Do a search for it here on youtube. It's good stuff - with the exception of the 1 song that Jim Jones sings on it.

  • Thank you. You mean Diana.

  • @ algwad - yes, Diana. Thanks for correcting that.

  • Why the hell did Tim Carter not take his kid and leave his wife behind in Jonestown? Because if it were me in that pavilion, and my wife refused to leave and i had kids, i would just take my kids out of there, burn in hell Jim Jones.

  • He had been called away by one of the advisers, and he knew by then he had to get themselves out of there. When he found them, his son had been injected with the poison along with his wife.

  • I see. Thanks for the clarification. I wanna know though as to how the Guyanese government did not do anything when clearly Grace Stoen won a court order, yet Jones refused to obey. I mean if he did, then this tragedy would never have happened. I wish there were more congressmen like Leo Ryan who was willing to help the people who elected him. Sad that he perished in Port Kaituma.

  • You're welcome!

    Apparently Jones did a number on Grace and Tim Stoen, and convinced them somehow to put his name on the birth certificate. They agreed, then when the custody battle started he said "I'm the boy's father. They gave him up to me." Apparently the two of them are still close even after their divorce, because they shared a hell no parent should be in.

    FYI: Jackie Spier, Congressman Ryan's aide, was elected to Congress last year. So there's another good person in Congress now.

  • I think Congressman Ryan was extremely naive in a lot of respects. He should have listened and left that very night. I would have and what a hideous waste of all those lives and potential.

  • so this was in america?

  • Guyana

  • All of those deaths could have been avoided if they hadn't killed Ryan. If they hadn't and let those people go, then they wouldn't have had to commit suicide.

  • they didn't "have" to

  • Comment removed

  • I really do appreciate the opportunity to watch this doc - at the same time it's really difficult to follow this if theres a gap between pics and sounds of about 30 secs , really irritating and sad.

    Reardless, thanks for posting

  • You are right.

  • what about the sign

  • it's ironic.

  • Notice the sign behind the congressman 2:37

  • I think the journalists should have been more careful. Angering a cult leader by showing him that some of his people are wanting to leave... not smart.

    They should've not said anything. They should've went back and told the U.S. government what happened.

    Not to say Jim Jones isn't a total monster...

  • yeah i would have gotten the fuck out of there!

  • HOW COULD YOU LEAVE YOUR SON WTF

  • "That's the Way of the World" by Earth, Wind, and Fire.

  • EWF sucks

  • anyone kno the name of the song that lady singing?

  • "That's the Way of the World" by Earth, Wind & Fire. The band is actually pretty good!

  • Bush's war? A year has gone by with Obama and we are still in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ha ha. I forget, are we still there for oil?? Why are we there now? Anyone know? ha ha.

  • a year? i didnt know that jan 20 to oct 12 was a year.
